Far-right politics
Far-right politics are politics that are farther to the right on the political spectrum than the usual political right.[1] The term is often used to mean Nazism,[2] neo-Nazism, fascism and other organizations that have reactionary views.
Its ideological foundations are principally based on extreme nationalism, anti-immigration, authoritarianism, opposition to democracy and the promotion of traditional values. It often wants to return to a past era. [3]
